English translation of the principle

The injured party’s entitlement to diyah and hukumat ‘adl compensation does not preclude compensation for the material and moral damage he sustained as a result of the injury. This is not considered an award of compensation for a single element of damage.
Arabic original
استحقاق المضرور للدية وحكومة عدل لا يمنع من تعويضه عن الضرر المادي والأدبي الذي لحق به من جراء الإصابة. لا يعتبر ذلك قضاء بتعويض عن عنصر واحد من عناصر الضرر.
